"Favorite in Estes Park"
"We have been customers for over 15 yrs., since its previous location, a tiny place that sold far more carry-out than dine-in because of space. This is not a fancy big city restaurant but has excellent Italian food, great bread (they make their own; we owned a bread bakery and we are picky), and the pizza is tops--(also made with the homemade dough). The kitchen staff has been there forever--that tells you something about the ownership. The tortellini is my favorite at Sweet Basilico, and Raul, the owner is usually there and greets all with a big smile. I have found that I don't like restaurants where there is no owner presence--it's very telling. Don't miss Sweet Basilico!" From UrbanSpoon

"Outstanding food, outstanding value"
"We never miss eating at Sweet Basilico when we are in Estes Park. In fact, this year we went twice! All dishes are very good, but the veal marsala is not to be missed!"
